Two chapters in my edited volume "Perspectives on an Evolving Creation"
give a number of examples: "Common Descent, Transitional Forms, and
the Fossil Record" and "The 'Cambrian Explosion': A Challenge to
Evolutionary Theory?" The chapter "Hominids in the Garden" also
discusses some of the human/hominid transitional forms.

Below is a small list that I put together awhile ago. It is not at all
up to date, and many other references could now be added.

diversification of tetrapods: Nature, vol. 358, p.507-514.

excellent popular account of the discovery of fossil transitions in the
origin of tetrapods and the origin of whales.)
